Eye gear

Whats the the best eye protection for us, me i'm big on the bug shield on front of the hard hat. any body else.

Safety glasses are supposed to be worn under the shield. The sheild is for face protection, not eye protection.

I work in Arkansas, the humitity don't allow safty glasses if you want to see, fog to bad.

there is a spray you can get for antifogging

It has been +90 and humid up here the last few days, and my glasses stay on, helmet too, till I'm raking up.

I know, I hate 'em too. But having been to the eye doctor with wood in my eye, they are a NECESSARY evil. I use an antifog on my full face mask when I paint trucks. It does work.

You can wear the safty glasses alright til it gets 102 to105 with humitity at a100 percent then i dont care what you use, it wont work.

 

[stihltech]

I hear ya, but tell that to the eye doctor when you get the bill.

I wonder if anyone makes safty glasses with a mesh?

 

[Toddppm]

Yup they used to anyways , I can't remember where I used to see them, in a catalog somewhere. Might have gone the way of the aluminum hardhat?

Bugg Eyzz from the vendor that sponsors this fine page.

Mesh eyewear is still around from a few different places. The ones already mentioned plus some goggles from MSA and a company called Skyline Northwest. Not sure if the last ones meet the ANSI standard, but the MSA goggles do so they count as primary eye protection and they're not too uncomfortable.

I usually wear a pair of sun glasses. not very dark, but they wrap all the way around the side of my eyes. Usually wear my ole aluminum hat too.

Anti fog Spray?

Hi John Paul, do you have a name for this product, or anywhere online to purchase? Can`t seem to find anythging like that around here. Thanks for any follow up.

I`ve used the BUGZ, got `em from Bailey`s. They work pretty well but I really didn`t see them working any better than the shield on a helmet. Every once in a while something gets through, but then again, short of a full face respirator like Stihltech mentioned, no eye protection is 100%. A few other things I noted about the BUGZ is that the stainless mesh does rust from perspiration, the foam around the eyepieces started breaking down after a few weeks, as in chunks were coming off, and the elastic starts to lose it`s elasticity. All in all the concept is good, but they should be made of much better materials for the price of about $19 a pair. I`ll have to check out the Bug Eyzz from Sherril`s. Here`s a pic of the rusted screen in the BUGZ. Russ

Bausch and Lomb makes a Sight Saver anti fogging spray that works okay (though I don't know about how well in Florida heat!). Most safety suppliers will have one brand or another.

Plain old dish detergent

A lot of sporting goods stores up here stock anti fog spray for hockey(and football) visors. If the truth be known, try rubbing a little dish detergent eg Palmolive or other on your visors/glasses and see if that cures the fogging problem, it does on my Itech visor I use when I play defence.
